Dirk Nowitzki misses Thursday night's game with thigh injury

Dirk Nowitzki missed Thursday's game with the Golden State Warriors due to a right adductor strain. The Mavs' Earl K. Sneed offered today's anatomy lesson: The adductor is a muscle in the thigh.

No word on how much time he'll miss. Also missing the Warriors-Mavs game: Stephen Curry with his bad ankle and Chris Kaman with a concussion.

Dirk Nowitzki is out vs. the Warriors with a right adductor strain, per @mavspr.

So to recap: no Steph Curry (right ankle sprain), no Dirk Nowitzki (right adductor strain) and Chris Kaman (concussion) is back in Dallas.
